International observers say deteriorating security conditions are
becoming a matter of serious concern in Libya as armed protests
targeting Libya’s ministries and media in the capital were witnessed in
the week.

Reporters without Borders said there was cause for “grave concern
about recent violent attacks on Libyan journalists, whose safety
conditions are deteriorating drastically” and called on the government
to act.

Wednesday made it the fourth day gunmen in heavily armed vehicles
have taken control of Libya’s Foreign Ministry, while the Justice
Ministry was similarly surrounded on Tuesday and other institutions
including the media have been targeted.

Recent attacks included the detention and beating of a correspondent
for Al-Arabiya, who was led away from the Foreign Ministry protest and
held for several hours. In another example, an employee of an
international news outlet was forced out of his car on Tuesday and
threatened with a gun.

The national television network was also stormed earlier this week,
while several other journalists have reported being held, threatened or
abused while covering the protests.

Though armed, the groups say they are protesting peacefully. They are
calling for Libya’s congress to pass a law banning officials who worked
for deposed leader Muammar Gaddafi from senior government posts.

Like most Nollywood stars, Chioma Chukwuka-Akpotha is not given to
pretence. She’s always ready to vibrate and return fire-for-fire.
Last Sunday evening was not different. Following the frustration and
exhaustion that greeted everyone after the AMAA awards and the endless
wait at the Port-Harcourt International Airport, Chioma boarded the
evening flight back to Lagos, however something happened!
Vanguard reports that a quarrel ensued between Chioma and a Lagos based
female journalist, Yemisi Suleiman (who was trying to interview her),
which caused the actress to loose her temper in a manner that attracted
the attention of everyone on board.
Chioma claimed that the journalist was rude to her, adding that most
painfully, she “called me Igbo Naughty Lady and all that’. I wouldn’t
blame her because AMAA brought us together. I can conveniently pay her
salary,” she fumed
A colleague of mine just said and I quote “I think Chioma needs to work
on her anger issues especially in public…you will recall that she was
the same person that disgraced herself even with fellow stars at the
Gulder ultimate search for celebrities a few years back.”

As waka singer, Queen Salawa Abeni, plans to release another album,
she speaks on the nature of a sickness that has kept her off the
musical arena in the past few years.

About four years ago
when Waka Queen, Salawa Abeni, was still very sick, fuji creator, Sikiru
Ayinde Barrister, went to see her in her house. As soon as the woman
who was in a deep pain saw him, she struggled to say, “Alhaji, am I
going to die now?”

Trust Barrister. In his characteristic
life-is-good inspiring candour, he tried to rekindle her hope and
assured her that she still had many beautiful years ahead of her.

But
just imagine how nature can play a fast game on any mortal. Today, the
Barrister that was prophesying longevity into Abeni’s life is no more.
The waka singer recalled this encounter in Lagos on Friday when she was
narrating the difficult experience she went through in the past five
years when she went from one hospital to the other, trying to get
healing for a sickness that started as a general weakness of the body.
